The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether early initiation of kangaroo mother care (KMC) can improve clinical outcomes in healthy low birth weight preterm neonates (gestational age 30-37 weeks, birth weight \<2000 g). The study will be conducted among preterm infants admitted to the neonatal unit of Services Hospital Lahore. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does early kangaroo mother care initiated within the first 24 hours of birth improve neonatal outcomes compared with standard neonatal care? * Does early initiation of kangaroo mother care improve thermal stability, breastfeeding outcomes, and overall clinical recovery in low birth weight preterm infants? Researchers will compare early kangaroo mother care with standard neonatal care to see if early initiation of skin-to-skin contact and breastfeeding support improves neonatal outcomes. Participants will: * Be randomly assigned to receive either early kangaroo mother care or standard neonatal care. * Infants in the intervention group will receive early skin-to-skin contact with the mother or caregiver along with breastfeeding support according to hospital protocols. * Infants in the control group will receive standard neonatal care practices provided in the neonatal unit.
